Cinnamon glazed Apple Bread is a quick and easy bread for tea time or breakfast . Chunks of apples in the bread taste delicious, and the cinnamon glaze on the bread makes it even better.
Apple is one of my favorite fruits and something we always have in our fruit baskets. We use apples in many different ways other than just eating them. I have made several recipes with apples, Indian, and other cuisines.
I am still not done exploring many other possibilities. When I chose the theme, Fall fruit dessert as this week’s BM theme, the first fruit of choice was an apple.
Spiced Apple Jam is one of the most sought-after recipes at my house. I always have a batch of it in the refrigerator, and my boys eat it with pretty much everything under the sky. I will list the other Apple recipes that I have made below.
Why does this recipe work?
This Lemon Blueberry Bread , which I made a while ago, was very popular. The color of the bread was just so beautiful, making it even more attractive to eat. I took inspiration from the same bread, played with the recipe a little, and made this Cinnamon Glazed Apple Bread.
I used a part of whole wheat flour in this recipe, and there was just no difference between the ones made with entirely all-purpose flour. After baking, I think this bread has an even greater texture and slices way more beautifully than bread made entirely with APF.
Cinnamon is the only predominant spice I used in this bread, as it is fall, and what better than a whole house smelling of cinnamon and apples?
I used Gala apples as we like slightly sweeter apples in our bread. Granny Smith is a popular apple for baking and has a more tart/sour flavor. Peeling the apple is important as the skin tends to become hard and chewy when baking.
I did not use lemon juice in my apples to preserve the color. Instead, I chopped the apple right before it was time to go into the batter. This way, it maintained the color. The apples remained intact and had a pleasant bite to them after baking.
After baking this delicious and easy cinnamon apple bread, if you have more Gala and Granny Smith Apples, try this apple pie with a graham cracker crust .
Also, if you want to switch up the flavors a bit and have pears in your fruit basket, then make this pear bread instead.
Ingredients needed
- All-purpose flour - 1 cup
- Whole Wheat Flour - ½ cup
- Cinnamon powder - 1 ½ tsp
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
- Salt - ½ tsp
- Butter - ⅓ cup (softened)
- Granulated sugar - 1 cup
- Eggs - 2
- Milk - ½ cup
- Apple - 2 cups (peeled and chopped fine)
For the Cinnamon Glaze -
- Powdered sugar - ¾ cup
- Cinnamon - ¾ tsp
- Milk - 1 to 2 tbsp
Step-by-step process
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard 9 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper or coat it with cooking/baking spray.
In a medium bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder and whisk them well to combine. You could also sieve them, but just using a wire whisk and mixing works well.
In the bowl of the mixer, cream the sugar and butter.
Add the eggs and beat on medium-high until light and frothy.
Add the flour mixture alternating with the milk and mix well to form a batter.
- Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.
Add the chopped apples to the batter and gently mix to combine evenly.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf and bake for about 55 to 60 minutes. Rotate the pan once in between for even baking. Insert a toothpick in the center of the loaf to see if it comes out clean. There will be a few wet crumbs attached to it, and that is fine.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread sit in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Now remove the bread from the pan and let it completely cool down before glazing.
To prepare the Cinnamon Glaze - Combine all the ingredients mentioned in a small bowl. Make sure that the glaze is thick and not too runny. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled bread and enjoy!
